Transferring to a 4-Year Institution

Admission into a major program at a transfer institution depends upon the receiving institution's requirements for that major. Some major programs are restricted and require special application as well as a competitive GPA. See an Academic Advisor at both SLCC and the intended receiving institution for specific articulation information, also available at the Utah System of Higher Education web site.

Transfer/Articulation Agreements: Students interested in majoring in Communication at the University of Utah, Weber State University or Westminster College:

• You are strongly encouraged to get your COMM degree at SLCC before transferring.
• A degree in COMM from SLCC benefits you financially as well as provides a solid curricular foundation.

University of Utah:

• 4 SLCC COMM courses may be transferred to your U of U COMM degree; check for GPA guidelines.
• You may take the two-credit U of U course, COMM 3060 transfer course, during Spring semester at the South City campus, for reduced tuition while still a student at SLCC.
• The transfer course will familiarize you with the U of U's Communication program, instructors, staff, and facilities.
• Complete the transfer course and you will receive higher priority for U of U enrollment.
• Complete the transfer course and you can declare your U of U Communication major upon admission, one semester earlier than other transfer students.
• SLCC students are strongly encouraged to take the transfer course, but it is not required to transfer. Students can still complete 9 credit hours at the U of U (including at least one U of U Communication course with a C or better), earn a 2.75 U of U GPA, and declare the Communication major.
